PHILADELPHIA, Pa, 


M. H. POWER, Printer 
1116-1116 Sansom Street 
Philadelphia 


Philadelphia, November 12, 1917. 


I do hereby certify that every painting in this Catalogue belonged to the late 
John G. Watmough and were taken by me, from the walls of his late residence, 
2114 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, to be sold at public Auction in my Art Gallery, 
1304 Walnut Street, by order of Ferdinand Keller. 


Sworn and subscribed before me 
this 12th day of November, 1917. 


CHas. R. HEERMANN, Stan. V. HENKELS. 
[szaL] : Notary Public. 


Commission expires Jan. 7th, 1921. 


The paintings in this catalogue will have to speak for themselves. We have 
not a single record of any one picture. Nobody is more cognizant than myself of 
the difficulty I am laboring under in offering the works of the most noted masters 
of tle modern school without proof or guarantee. All I can say is that Mr. Wat- 
mough was a careful buyer; he investigated and procured the history of each 
painting before purchasing and when he did purchase, the data of their authenticity 
was satisfactory to him, and as he never collected with a view to selling, conse- 
quently kept no records of his paintings, as it mattered little to him what be- 
came of them after his death. He bought them for his own pleasure; he was 
satisfied, and that was sufficient. His papers have been closely scrutinized for the 
purpose of getting some information as to where and when purchased, but without 
avail. I am therefore obliged to offer the collection to the public under the general 
assumption that they are properly described. We can give no guarantee, and to 
overcome this obstacle is the reason I have made plates of so many of the subjects, 
hoping that my patrons will be able to identify a few of them at least. 

The collection is not an ordinary one, and should attract general attention 
with the art-loving public. Our personal opinion will avail nothing. They are 
described honestly and attributed accordingly to the signature on each subject. 

Our reason for accompanying the Catalogue with the above affidavit, is to 
avoid the suspicion that the sale has been padded from other sources. This seems 
to have been the custom with many auction houses, and one that we do not approve, 
consequently we wish to impress on all, that every painting in this sale was owned 
personally by Mr. Watmough. Of course with those who know us, our word is 
sufficient, but with those who have not dealt with us in the past, we hope it will 


invite their confidence.

Size 14 inches x 65 inches. 

A wonderful and beautiful work of art. The artist has exe- 
cuted the intaglio in a manner to deceive the eye and give it the ap- 
pearance of a bas relief. The deception is so well done that it 
takes the closest inspection to discover tt. The subject ts the full 
length figure of a young girl or wood nymph playing the pipes, 
entirely nude, lying flat on the ground, resting on the elbows.
